...point). The superheated water expands (but cannot change to steam because it is too closely confined) and pushes a piston at the far end of this cylinder. Cold water or air, applied against the piston end of the boiler, cools the confined water sufficiently to make it contract and suck the piston back to its original position. The external cold water or air is shut off, the cooled water in the boiler coils passes into the second cylinder, and newly heated water comes from the furnace to push the piston of the first cylinder again. Thus heat energy carried...
While many of the visitors expressed skepticism to one another in polite whispers, Georges Claude explained the process to them. Great pumps are used to suck up cold water, 40º F., through a mile-long tube from the bottom of Matanzas Bay. Warm surface water, 80º F., rushes through other pipes into a large vacuum tank. When a liquid is kept under low pressure, it will boil at temperatures much lower than 212º F. The pressure in the vacuum tank, Dr. Claude explained, is low enough to cause the 80º surface water to boil, give...
